With the two of them together, Wang Miaomiao became much braver and returned to that alley, starting a thorough search.
Going door to door, she asked, "Auntie, did you see a man carrying a big snakeskin bag pass by here?"
"Uncle, did you see three little girls come by here?"
Time and time again, tirelessly.
Finally, at the cost of a few candies, she pried open the mouth of a little boy.
Sure enough, heaven did not disappoint those who persevere, and traces will be left after a deed is done.
As the little boys stumbled over their recounts, things quickly came together, and progress was made.
The little boy said that while they were playing in the alley, they did see a man carrying a snakeskin bag pass by; he looked sneaky and obviously seemed like a bad person.
Moreover, one of the boys even said he had seen the man next door to his aunt's house. His aunt warned him that the man was a kidnapper, and if he misbehaved at her house, she would give him to that man.
